Book excerpt: This book introduces you to the world of Blockchain with an interesting AI perspective to the Blockchain, and with detailed associated videos to make concepts easier to understand. This book provides you with hands-on technical details to guide you to create your own smart contracts, NFTs, Tokens, Flash-loan algorithms, and AI and Machine learning algorithms. This book is aimed at newcomers to the concept of Blockchain, enthusiasts, explorists, who would like to learn about the concepts of Blockchain in simple terms, with easy to understand stories. This book provides a practical guidance and approach for utilizing Blockchain and its associated technologies in the real world scenario. You are not expected to be an expert in Solidity, Web3, Javascript or Python at all. What’s inside? The Story of Blockchain Solidity Programming Create your own tokens (coins) Create your own NFTs Web3 on node.js Web3 using python AI perspective to Blockchain Flash Loans Honestly speaking, this book is meant for those “lazy” engineers, aspiring blockchain, solidity developers, Web3 engineers, experienced IT professionals in other fields, who like the authors hate reading through lengthy books with several hundreds of pages of mathematical models and equations to even getting started with Blockchain. Many of us are looking for a book with not more than 170-180 pages to gain a very fundamental understanding of the Blockchain ecosystems, create your own contracts, NFTs. There are many books, articles, guides and documents published on Blockchain, and most of them either focus on smart contracts solely, or web3 reference books and most often they tend to be very lengthy, spanning several hundred pages. Of-course, they are aimed at serving an exhaustive content for readers to get a deep understanding on the subjects. As you go through the book, you will learn the concepts of Blockchain with simply explained stories, use cases for each technology and then set up your development technical environment to dive deeper in Solidity, Web3js, Web3py, Flash loans, Tokens, NFTs and last but not the least, an AI perspective to the blockchain. As you read through the book, hopefully the myths of cryptocurrencies, tokens, NFTs would be debunked, and you will get a very granular/basic to an implementation level understanding and approach of developing decentralized applications on the blockchain. Let us start learning!

Book excerpt: The cryptocurrency trend of the past few years has continued to grow despite widespread predictions that it would just be a flash in the pan. Blockchain is suddenly everyone's favorite buzzword. But what if there's more to this story than meets the eye? What if Digital Currency is about to change the world in ways beyond our imagination? And what if geopolitical forces our politicians don't even understand have already inspired China and Russia to use Digital Currency to attack the U.S. Dollar's dominance over the global financial system?The Dollar has served as the world's reserve currency since 1944, and the fringe benefits have allowed the U.S. Government to borrow and spend beyond its means and run massive trade deficits for decades. Now China and Russia suddenly have a new lever to use which could upset the global balance of power. Who would have guessed that technology breakthroughs conceived by the inventors of cryptocurrency would hand China and Russia just the weapon they needed to attack the Dollar's rule over the global economy? The invention of digital cash enables government-issued digital currency systems that could completely modernize the global monetary system. The potential benefits to society are so great that it's hard to grasp their full magnitude. But a digital currency system introduced by China and Russia could upstage the Dollar and replace it as global reserve currency, causing devastating consequences for the U.S. economy. Which country wins the new digital currency Space Race could change the course of human history.There's plenty of evidence that China and Russia are already hard at work. The Chinese central bank is aggressively hiring Blockchain engineers, but has been suspiciously quiet about what they're working on. Sergei Glaziev, economic advisor to Russian President Vladimir Putin is giving keynote speeches to Blockchain conferences. The Chinese central bank filed more digital currency patents than anyone else in 2017. This book explains why China and Russia are suddenly so interested in Digital Currency technology, and more importantly, what they plan to do with it. Time is short for the U.S. Government to wake up and recognize the threat that now looms over the U.S. Dollar's dominance at the center of the global financial system, and why Digital Currency technology is likely to be the challengers' weapon of choice to defeat the Dollar.Author Erik Townsend is uniquely qualified to sort this puzzle out and tell the entire fascinating story. In his first career, Townsend was a distributed systems architect - an expert in all the technologies used to create cryptocurrencies. In his second career, he was a hedge fund manager who studied reserve currency status extensively. Townsend first gives readers an introduction to both conventional money and digital currency, then gives a detailed introduction to relevant monetary history subjects, and finally ties it all together and explains how a state-sponsored digital currency system could steal the title of global reserve currency from the U.S. Dollar and change the balance of world power.

Book excerpt: Blockchain technology has the potential to revolutionize the education sector in several significant ways. Firstly, it can enable the secure and tamper-proof storage of educational records, such as degrees, certifications, and diplomas. This ensures the authenticity and integrity of the credentials, reducing the risk of fraud and facilitating seamless verification processes for employers and educational institutions. Secondly, blockchain can facilitate the creation of decentralized learning platforms, enabling peer-to-peer interactions, transparent tracking of learning progress, and secure sharing of educational content. The book aims at providing insight into how blockchain can be leveraged in education sector. Chapter 1 focuses on overview of fungible and non-fungible tokens, different ERC standards for creating fungible and non-fungible tokens. The role of OpenZeppelin for simplifying the creation of non-fungible tokens is discussed at length. Chapter 2 unleashes the power of decentralized applications. It explores the development of decentralized applications using Blockchain Technology with React.js as frontend. Two decentralized applications one for transferring fund from one account to another and another for developing a frontend for demo project are discussed. Chapters 3 and 4 provide an overview of decentralized applications for educational domain. The first application elaborated in Chapter 3 targets design and development of decentralized feedback application focusing in detail on the steps pertaining to design of smart contract, testing the smart contract in two versatile environments of Remix IDE, Hardhat environment and Sepolia test environment, designing the frontend in React.
